John Barton (1755–1789) was one of nine English Quaker members of the "Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade" set up in 1787 by William Wilberforce and two other Anglicans.[1]

Abolishing slave trading

Their efforts ultimately led to the passage of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, 1807[2] by the UK Parliament on 25 March in that year.

Family

Barton was married to Mary Done (1752–1784), with whom he had a son, the poet Bernard Barton, and a daughter, the education writer Maria Hack, who were both born in Carlisle. After her death, Barton moved south and married Elizabeth Horne (1760–1833) of Tottenham, Middlesex, by whom he had a son, John Barton, an economist who specialized in the study of poverty.[3]
